Mondo already operates in Germany via distributor Mondo Igel Media and DVD company Mondo Ent. and owns TV production house Mondo TV France. Mondo plans to create a London-based business for the U.K. market in the mid-term.

“Mondo TV Spain will enter as co-producer in one-to-two toon projects a year, mainly TV series,” Bonaria told Daily Variety. New deals for Spain will be unveiled at next month’s Mip TV mart in Cannes.

Mondo’s library includes 1,400 half-hour episodes produced and adds another 3,600 episodes in distribution. It also sells 35 animated features.

Created in 1964 by Italian toon distributor-producer Orlando Corradi, Mondo TV listed on Italy’s New Stock Exchange Nuovo Mercato in June 2000. The Corradi family holds 51.5% of Mondo.
